Yup - we tell em that if they even approach that size, they should not be considering email - our internal users are automatically authorized to use our Secure Messaging system (browser based, looks like email) - sending to external user automatically creates an account for the external user which they can use to compose and send to us. It IS a couple of extra steps but moves the limit to 600MB. We also have mailbox quotas - this avoids using that up too.
Archaic? Possibly but with 60k+ users on e2k3 on server clusters sized 5-8 years ago........................ We live with it and it works for us - and our business partners. ________________________________ From: Eric Woodford [mailto:ericwoodf...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 10:06 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: what is your maximum message size in exchange 2007 a point to train your users on.

If you send a 10MB message, exchange sees it as something like 12MB. Could an expert chime in on this?
